Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Security: UI, defect)

Description

[Andrew Webster]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212

After upgrading from Mozilla 1.1 to Mozilla 1.3a, the Aladdin eToken security
module etpkcs11.dll is no longer working properly.  
In the manage security devices window, it shows as not loaded.
As a result, a mailserver using a client Cert (stored on the eToken) will no
longer authenticate the user, and revert to username/password.
This also breaks the ability of sending secure email.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add c:\winnt\system32\etpkcs11.dll in the Security Devices window
2. Shows as loaded
3. Close mozilla
4. Reopen mozilla
5. Open mail/news
6. Manage security devices window shows the module as Not loaded.
7. Certs no longer work.
Actual Results:  
Certificate authentication no longer works

Expected Results:  
Same behaviour as Mozilla 1.1

Probably related to or a dupe of bug 182607, where cert7.db gets upgraded to
cert8.db. The workaround would probably be
Edit>Prefs>Privacy>Certificates>Manage Security Devices>Load, type in a name
like aladdin, and the Module filename would be etpkcs11.dll.

This problem is _NOT_ present in Mozilla 1.3b.

Andrew, do you say, Mozilla 1.3a had the problem, but Mozilla 1.3b works again?
If so, this bug should be marked as WORKSFORME.
